Ming Lei 3051247e4f block: fix kobject leak in blk_unregister_queue
The kobject for the queue, `disk->queue_kobj`, is initialized with a
reference count of 1 via `kobject_init()` in `blk_register_queue()`.
While `kobject_del()` is called during the unregister path to remove
the kobject from sysfs, the initial reference is never released.

Add a call to `kobject_put()` in `blk_unregister_queue()` to properly
decrement the reference count and fix the leak.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
